Description
SKU: F04348
Porsche 911: 50 Years, bestselling author Randy Leffingwell celebrates a half-century of one of the world?s premiere sports cars, focusing on the major themes that have defined Porsche's rear-engined wonder. He tells the whole story?design and development, racing and competition, engineering and technology, style and culture.
